LinkedIn

Use browser automation to interact with LinkedIn - check messages, view profiles, search, and send connection requests.

Connection Methods

Option 1: Chrome Extension Relay (Recommended)

  1. Open LinkedIn in Chrome and log in
  2. Click the Clawdbot Browser Relay toolbar icon to attach the tab
  3. Use 
    browser
    tool with 
    profile="chrome"

Option 2: Isolated Browser

  1. Use 
    browser
    tool with 
    profile="clawd"
  2. Navigate to linkedin.com
  3. Log in manually (one-time setup)
  4. Session persists for future use

Common Operations

Check Connection Status

browser action=snapshot profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/feed/"

View Notifications/Messages

browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/messaging/"
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome

Search People

browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/people/?keywords=QUERY"
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome

View Profile

browser action=navigate profile=chrome targetUrl="https://www.linkedin.com/in/USERNAME/"
browser action=snapshot profile=chrome

Send Message (confirm with user first!)

  1. Navigate to messaging or profile
  2. Use 
    browser action=act
    with click/type actions
  3. Always confirm message content before sending

Safety Rules

  • Never send messages without explicit user approval
  • Never accept/send connection requests without confirmation
  • Avoid rapid automated actions - LinkedIn is aggressive about detecting automation
  • Rate limit: ~30 actions per hour max recommended

Session Cookie Method (Advanced)

If browser relay isn't available, extract the 

li_at
cookie from browser:

  1. Open LinkedIn in browser, log in
  2. DevTools → Application → Cookies → linkedin.com
  3. Copy 
    li_at
    value
  4. Store securely for API requests

Troubleshooting

  • If logged out: Re-authenticate in browser
  • If rate limited: Wait 24 hours, reduce action frequency
  • If CAPTCHA: Complete manually in browser, then resume
